Dimensionally reduced SYM at large-: an intriguing Coulomb approximation

Daniele Dorigoni, Gabriele Veneziano, Jacek Wosiek

We consider the light-cone (LC) gauge and LC quantization of the dimensional reduction of super Yang Mills theory from four to two dimensions. After integrating out all unphysical…

Effective action in a higher-spin background

Xavier Bekaert, Euihun Joung, Jihad Mourad

We consider a free massless scalar field coupled to an infinite tower of background higher-spin gauge fields via minimal coupling to the traceless conserved currents. The set of Ab…

String Theory and The Velo-Zwanziger Problem

Massimo Porrati, Rakibur Rahman, Augusto Sagnotti

We examine the behavior of the leading Regge trajectory of the open bosonic string in a uniform electromagnetic background and present a consistent set of Fierz-Pauli conditions fo…

A Faddeev-Niemi Solution that Does Not Satisfy Gauss' Law

Jarah Evslin, Simone Giacomelli

Faddeev and Niemi have proposed a reformulation of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in terms of a U(1) gauge theory with 8 off-shell degrees of freedom. We present a solution to Faddeev and…

On Climbing Scalars in String Theory

E. Dudas, N. Kitazawa, A. Sagnotti

In string models with "brane supersymmetry breaking" exponential potentials emerge at (closed-string) tree level but are not accompanied by tachyons. Potentials of this type have l…

Monopole-vortex complex in a theta vacuum

Kenichi Konishi, Alberto Michelini, Keisuke Ohashi

We discuss aspects of the monopole-vortex complex soliton arising in a hierarchically broken gauge system, G to H to 1, in a theta vacuum of the underlying G theory. Here we focus…

Gauge gravity duality for d-wave superconductors: prospects and challenges

Francesco Benini, Christopher P. Herzog, Rakibur Rahman +1

We write down an action for a charged, massive spin two field in a fixed Einstein background. Despite some technical problems, we argue that in an effective field theory framework…

String Lessons for Higher-Spin Interactions

A. Sagnotti, M. Taronna

String Theory includes a plethora of higher-spin excitations, which clearly lie behind its most spectacular properties, but whose detailed behavior is largely unknown. Conversely,…

Higher Spins and String Interactions

Massimo Taronna

In this Thesis we address the issue of consistent higher-spin interactions taking String Theory as a "theoretical laboratory". We thus arrive at a simple expression encompassing al…

Higher Spins and Current Exchanges

A. Sagnotti

The simplest higher-spin interactions involve classical external currents and symmetric tensors $ϕ_{\m_1 ... \m_s}$, and convey three instructive lessons. The first is a general fo…
